Reagan violated the Boland amendment.
Nope.
First off, Boland was unconstitutional. Congress does not have the authority to conduct a foreign policy. While Jim Wright's 5th column was working on behalf of the USSR, they did not have the power to constrain policy by the Executive. Article II, section 1, clause 7 provides the power to effect a foreign policy to the president. While treaties require the consent of the Senate, congress has no authority to conduct foreign policy.
Secondly, Boland states that the United States could not provide military support to overthrow the Communist Sandinistas. Now fellow Travelers Edward Boland, Tom Harken, and Jim Wright worked on behalf of the interests of the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics, which needed a North American beach head from which to invade and threaten the borders of the United States. These three Soviet agents were tasked with ensuring the pentameter establishment of a Soviet base to rival Cuba. A move up through Honduras, Guatemala, then Mexico would put the Soviet army on the doorstep of America. The stakes were high, Wright and the other Soviet sympathizers could smell the victory for their side.
Reagan interfering with the creation of the Soviet state in Nicaragua would derail the master plan. Boland was a sloppy attempt to fling shit in hopes of keeping the Soviet plans moving, Boland was an absurd joke, and possibly treason.If a state of war were to exist, Boland, Harken, and Wright would unquestionably be guilty of treason per Article III, section 3, clause 1.
Thus Boland had no legal weight, it was merely a desperate attempt by the Soviet 5th column in congress to protect the interest of the USSR.
Hezbollah, the terrorist group controlled by Iran, held seven American hostages. Three were released after transfer of TOW anti tank missiles were delivered to Iran. Shortly after they were released three more were kidnapped. Reagan's own advisers, complained that the policy was turning the mid east into a kidnapped Americans bizarre.
Not TOW missiles, but parts for existing TOW systems, sold and delivered by an Israeli arms firm. While the action was ill advised, it was perfectly legal.
